The Role Of The Golgi Elmo Proteins In Cell Adhesion In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Wesley James Hudson Jan 2021

The Role Of The Golgi Elmo Proteins In Cell Adhesion In Arabidopsis Thaliana, Wesley James Hudson

Honors Projects

Proper growth and development of plant cells is dependent upon successful cell adhesion between cells, and this is mostly mediated by pectin in the plant cell wall. Previously, the Kohorn Laboratory identified a non-enzymatic Golgi protein named ELMO1 as it is required for cell adhesion, likely acting as a scaffold for cell wall polymer synthesis. Plants with mutant ELMO1 demonstrate a weak defective cellular adhesion phenotype as well as reduced mannose content in the cell wall. ELMO1 has homologous proteins in at least 29 different vascular plants. These homologues have 2 possible deletions in their amino acid sequence, but protein …
